Chapter 318 Going to the Bank to Exchange Copper Coins

Zhang Xiaohua smiled, only then did she realize that the hot teacup in her hand was already cold, the midday sun was already over her head, and her body sitting under the sun was gradually moving into the shadows.

It took so long for that erratic moment just now? !

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help frowning, feeling that it was only a few breaths, this feeling is really amazing.

After savoring that mysterious feeling carefully, Zhang Xiaohua felt a kind of enlightenment in his heart, and he couldn't explain clearly. Then, with a move in his heart, he secretly checked the cultivation base of the Heart Sutra. Sure enough, the stagnant cultivation base had already There are some signs of loosening, and it seems to have seen the dawn of the sixth layer.

Zhang Xiaohua was very emotional. Before, she had to work hard to absorb the vitality in the primordial stone, so she could enter the realm a little bit. However, in just a few breaths, no matter how much she absorbed the vitality, she couldn't make any further cultivation, so she pushed forward firmly. further. It seems that the cultivation method in the middle stage of Qi refining is still quite different from the early stage of Qi refining.

Thinking about the situation just now, Zhang Xiaohua is still a little scared. He doesn't know whether this situation is lucky or unlucky. He just knows that if Ji Xiaohua called him late just now, maybe his consciousness will be really high. Flew beyond cloud nine.

Misfortunes come, blessings depend on;

Blessings come, disasters come!

Looking at Ji Xiaohua's childish and anxious face, Zhang Xiaohua was deeply moved. She just came to Songning Town to find out the way home, but met this child with the same name as her own, and so many things happened. The improvement of state of mind and the enhancement of cultivation base are real things, and these are really inseparable from Ji Xiaohua.

But what can I do for him?

Although I can make alchemy, I only have a bunch of bigu pills, and there is no elixir for living people, or medicine pills for saving people from diseases; although I have cultivated the way of immortality, what I know is only the means of killing people; what can I help him? ?

Just as she was thinking, Ji Xiaohua called out again: "Master, are you alright?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Why is there something wrong? I'm fine, very fine."

Immediately, he greeted again: "Dude, bring some snacks."

"Okay." The guy in the distance responded cheerfully.

But I thought to myself: "This guy must be a fake young master. He didn't want to drink a cup of tea. He sat for a whole noon. Isn't he afraid of eating more snacks? When he saw his companion coming, he quickly ordered one. Hehe, I've seen this kind of person a lot."

Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the stool and said, "Ji Xiaohua, sit down, you are exhausted, drink some water first, and have some snacks later."

After speaking, he picked up the teapot and poured water for Ji Xiaohua.

Ji Xiaohua didn't dare to sit down, she rushed to pour it by herself, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "You should do it, I want to thank you for this glass of water."

Ji Xiaohua twitched and said, "Master, you're welcome, don't you just want me to help you with things?"

Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand, patted him on the shoulder, told him to sit down, put the poured tea in front of him, and said, "I have something else to thank you for."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaohua was surprised: "Young master, you are so godly, you already know?"

Zhang Xiaohua wondered, "What do I know?"

"Isn't that what the young master said?" Ji Xiaohua said while carefully taking out a white cloth from her bosom.

"What is this?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"So the young master doesn't know."

"Know what, how would I know? If you don't tell me, of course I don't know, only if you tell me, then I will know!" Zhang Xiaohua was in a great mood, talking nonsense with Ji Xiaohua.

At this time, the waiter brought up the fragrant dim sum, Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the dim sum and said, "Thank you for this too, let's eat with ease."

Ji Xiaohua stuck out her tongue again, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Master Xie, you should read this first before talking about it.

"

Zhang Xiaohua took the white cloth and spread it out to see that there were three large characters "Songning Town" in the upper right corner, "Pingyang City" and "Lu Town" in the lower left corner, and several other place names in the middle. Among these place names, there are many lines drawn. Is this the route map from Songning Town to Lu Town and Pingyang City?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's surprised eyes, Ji Xiaohua was very proud. While eating snacks, she said: "Young Master, the Pingyang City you mentioned is really far away. I found several people, and they all said everything. It’s not the same, but most of them said this route, and this Lu Town, it’s a coincidence that someone has sold silk floss somewhere, so I know.”

"Simian? Why didn't I know that Lu Town produces silk cotton?"

"Hee hee, master, it's just fake silk."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Afterwards, Ji Xiaohua said again: "Originally the little one could come back earlier, but I thought, if I tell you with my mouth, maybe you will forget it in a while, and the little one wants to draw one by myself, but after drawing it It was like being scratched by a cat, and as a last resort, I found a street painter to help paint it."

Then, he took a bite of the crispy snack and said angrily: "That guy actually took advantage of the situation to increase the price and charged me three pennies, which is more expensive than the New Year pictures. Oh, master, the three pennies are considered small. I paid for it myself." , don’t worry about it, I didn’t succeed in buying a horse just now, so I’m sorry for letting you go for nothing.”

Zhang Xiaohua listened with great interest.

"Hey, if you paid for it yourself, why bother telling me the price of the white cloth? This kid is really smart, much better than when I was a child."

However, looking at the very detailed circuit drawn on the white cloth, why would Zhang Xiaohua care about this little thought? Just call this careful thinking smart.

There are quite a few lines on the white cloth, but Zhang Xiaohua only glanced at it, and he already understood it, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind, but he still carefully folded the white cloth and put it in his arms.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaohua smiled even brighter, as if her hard work had been rewarded the most.

After eating half of the dim sum, Ji Xiaohua stopped eating, Zhang Xiaohua wondered: "It's already noon, is this enough for you?"

"Enough, enough. I am small and have a small stomach. I am already full."

"Well, well, I'm full, and then follow me to do something else."

After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she got up to leave.

At this time, Ji Xiaohua asked softly: "Master, can I pack the leftover snacks?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly: "Yes, of course."

Ji Xiaohua quickly took out a very clean starched handkerchief from her bosom, carefully wrapped the remaining snacks, and put it in her bosom.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and asked the clerk to settle the bill without saying anything.

After leaving the door, Ji Xiaohua asked, "Master, where shall we go next?"

"The bank!"

Songning Town is different from Lu Town, it is close to the seaport, the business is extremely developed, there are several banks alone, Zhang Xiaohua doesn't care too much, as long as Ji Xiaohua finds the nearest one.

This bank has a small appearance and few customers, which suits Zhang Xiaohua's wishes.

The bank is no different than other places, there are no shop assistants to entertain, only tall counters, Zhang Xiaohua is also the first time to this kind of place, and Ji Xiaohua is looking around, it must be the first time.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the solemn-looking old man behind the counter, took out a bank note from his arms, and handed it over. The old man with a gray beard, with a blank face, reached out to accept it, and when he unfolded it, he was shocked. frown. Yes, most of the customers who come to the bank exchange relatively large amounts of silver for bank notes, which are convenient to carry, or exchange bank notes for silver. It’s more cost-effective when it’s bigger. Although this small bank is small in scale, most of the banknotes this old gentleman saw were in hundreds or thousands of denominations. Where can there be banknotes like this one, only five taels ! ! !

If you say it's only five taels, forget it, this bank note is not issued by your own bank!

Generally speaking, if it is not his own bank note, the old man can refuse to exchange it, but the bank that issued the bank note is still quite large. Although the head office of this bank is far away, it has a close relationship with his own For the relationship of the alliance, I have to exchange it for him, and I can't charge more taps!

The old gentleman thought for a while, and went through some necessary formalities with Zhang Xiaohua as a routine, and put a silver ingot of five taels on the counter. Zhang Xiaohua was about to speak, and the old gentleman said first: "Please pay a silver coin first." The cost of money and silver."

"One penny? Fee?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, and said, "I'll give you the banknote and you give me the silver. Why should I pay you the fee?"

The old man had no choice but to see that there were not many customers in the bank, so he patiently explained the details. After listening to the popular financial knowledge of the old man in the bank, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that this bank note is easy to hold, but the price is not high. Little!

"Oh..." Zhang Xiaohua sighed, there was a pile of gold in her purse, but those things are not suitable for taking out now, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and be slaughtered by the banker!

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said to the old gentleman: "This old gentleman, it's just right, I want to exchange these five taels of silver for one yuan and one yuan, how do you think? By the way, there is no charge for this exchange."

The old man squinted at Zhang Xiaohua, and said, "It's not necessary, so will your expenses be paid from these scattered silver?"

Zhang Xiaohua gave a thumbs up and said: "The old man is brilliant, that's exactly what I mean."

The old man was a little pleased by this straightforward flattery, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have been sitting at this counter for decades, who hasn't seen anything? Just as you were about to lift your foot, I knew you were going to What the hell are you doing?"

Before Zhang Xiaohua could speak, Ji Xiaohua next to her burst out laughing.

Zhang Xiaohua turned her head and gave Ji Xiaohua a white look, and didn't dare to say any more, for fear that the old man would say something nice again.

When the old gentleman put the scattered silver on the counter, Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Old gentleman, if I exchange these silvers for other shares, such as copper coins, will there be no charge?"

The old man was stunned, and said: "Whenever the banknotes are exchanged for cash, no matter whether it is silver or copper coins, there is only one charge. Why does the guest officer ask this?"

In an instant, a bad feeling rose in the old man's heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and shouted crisply: "That's great, please change all five taels of silver into copper coins!"

Ps: There may be a problem with the ratio of silver to copper coins in the next chapter, don't mind.
